Blog design

Trying my hand at blog design using the free templates that are available. Thanks to Gretchen and her family blog that I found the idea on it, I thought I would give it a try. Now mind you, I have only a smidgen of Irish in me, I still love the background, so I went with it. Hopefully we will get a little of that Irish luck our way, as we could sure use it these days. On top of everything else going on in our lives, every time my mom uses the washer a stream of water goes from under it, across to the drain. Figure that out! And we think our tv is going everyday when I turn it on, I never know if the picture will stop what ever it seems to be doing lately.

They finally came and installed the new glass in our windows, only been waiting since Nov. (was hoping for the tax deduct.) , but can't help the nasty weather we have had. The dining room picture window is great we can now get a clear view across the street, oh maybe we didn't care to. But clear glass is nice we just need to look at our yard and the cars that go by no farther. The family room windows, all 5 were replaced, they were really bad. Terrific view of the backyard now, no cloudy days in the family room ever again. Although due to the southern exposure they are tinted with low-e.

Braxton came by for a quick play date, mom and dad had their tax appt tonite. So we played with the trains, checked out some of the daycare toys, read some books, watched parts of a couple videos and ate 2 different dinners. And of course had to have some treats. Then Mom and Dad came back, they had stopped for a quick dinner (with out Braxton). Something they don't get to do much of lately due to Mom working 7 days. Then they went home, but not before he had to borrow a video to take home. His thing is ooooooooh grandma, pleeeeeeese grandma. How do you refuse that, with those big beautiful begging eyes he has.

Tax time....no matter how organized I thought I was.....I never am!! This week's glitch is, the form I use is not printing out right. Am I going to have to have a major computer overhaul or is it minor? Will I be able to get a year's worth of receipts figured out now, without my computer. I am so lost!

May have had my first indication last night that something actually did happen when I had "surgery". After walking in the cold to the hockey game I had some prickly, tingling under my forehead skin, very strange sensation and lasted for what seemed for ever and then going back to the car, it happened again. I did expect it would probably be in my lower jaw line down the road, if it happened at all.

Brad's truck fixed and on the road again, oops had to go back for a minor repair, all better now. Yes, he's very happy....he better be!!! Eric's picture is looking as good as it can be. He is driving his big red truck now, which of course uses more gas than his little car... his only saving grace is gas is not $4 a gal. now. He needs to do what his Dad does and only live less than 4 miles from work versus probably 40.

Well the weekend is coming to a close, I was suppose to be resting and I did, after the last week I was due. I figured out after 7 months how to download pictures off my new camera, just a little slow or lack of time to actually sit and do it..... so that took a chunk of time to file and organize them the way I wanted. Eric seems to be doing better, Brads truck is fixed and back on the road, Jess' blazer has heat again, I have no drs appt. next week the world is good for the moment. Stay tuned....it never lasts.
